Pokémon titles have always been made for fans of all ages, but it looks like Pokkén Tournament will be more for the older fans of the franchise, who are now adults. Tekken series chief producer Katsuhiro Harada recently shared more about the games target audience in an interview with 4Gamer.
4Gamer notes that the games official website mentions that it says that the game is not only for children, but for the Pokémon fans whove grown up and are in their 20s. They ask what age demographic the game is aiming for, primarily.
Naturally, its being developed into something that elementary school children can also enjoy, but if were talking about age demographics, were aiming for something over 18 years of age to the early 30s, responds Harada.
When it comes to Pokémon, everyone says they love it up until the fourth grade, and whats funny is that there are kids who graduate from it after that, he continues. Well its not that they graduate, since theyre still fans, but they just dont show [their enthusiasm], and kind of play it more behind-the-scenes.
